Since the day you were born my mother, your "grandma", has been in your life. She came and stayed two weeks when I got home from the hospital and when I had to go back to work at 10 wks post partium she came two days a week to watch you (and give your awesome stay at home Papa a break!) She has been doing that for the past 14 months! I can not express in words how thankful I am to her. She drives an hour and a half each way and spend two days loving you and teaching you new things! It has greatly helped me adjust as I learn to deal with the fact that I cannot be at home with you all the time as I would want, but I know that between your Grandma and your Papa you are well taken care and loved beyond measure while I am gone!
You LOVE your Grandma and always want her to hold you when she is in the room! I listen from the bathroom as I get ready for work in the morning and hear you and her laughing as she feeds you breakfast in the kitchen. Then, when you have eaten all she can stuff into you, I hear the two of you coming down the hall. I wait for the peek-a-boo game that comes next as she holds you, so that only your face peeks into the bathroom and you can see me. Then she pulls you back (you laugh) and do it all over again!
She takes you on long walks around our neighborhood and helps you chase the dog around the house, to which you giggle so much you loose your balance! You help her wash dishes in the sink, even though you soak your cloths and hers! She plays "Hunter and Bear" with you the way she used to play with me when I was a child. And she teaches you about Jesus, in hopes that one day she will get to have a conversation about the grace and forgiveness He has given to you and how He loves you.
Your Grandma is an incredible woman who gives and sacrifices unceaseingly for those she loves and YOU are at the top of that list!
